Is it permissible for my mother to receive rent allowance and own a public housing unit, knowing that she previously met the application requirements with an incorrect salary certificate, and now I wish to replace it with my salary certificate as an employee?

It is not permissible to defraud the state to obtain assistance, as this involves lying and consuming wealth unjustly. One must completely withdraw from this assistance if possible; otherwise, the money must be disbursed to those who are truly entitled to it. If the system stipulates that the divorced woman must be employed, then the daughter's employment does not justify the mother receiving assistance. However, if the conditions for assistance apply to the daughter, then she may apply and receive it.
